When do you think you will get yours? Keep us updated so that we have an idea how long it will take us late buyers to get the phone!

I ordered mine as soon as the 3-4 weeks came back on for the 16GB. Friday 7:45pm. For a minute it showed November 26th ship date then changed to 3-4 weeks.

I ordered a black 32GB at 6 on Friday night. Got shipping notification this morning at 7, Sunday. Logged into my Sprint account and chatted with support. Pasted the SKU from this thread and got a order confirmation (free) with item number CZ2102LWR.

 

Thought I would let you guys know. So far, so good.

At 6, eh?

 

:unsure:   /looks at my pending/unshipped 1:12 CST order.

 

I wish there was some rhyme or reason to their shipping.

 

Anyway, really looking forward to people here starting to get these things and posting impressions.

Just used the chat to order the SIM, took all of 60 seconds, piece of cake.

...might I ask for you to kindly describe the steps involved?

 

I presume you went to the Sprint chat site mentioned a couple of pages ago.

 

What exactly did you order?

 

How much did it cost?

 

When will it ship?

 

Thanks.

Well for me, I went to the chat and told them I bought a couple of nexus 5's and I needed UICC sims for both devices.  She then asked for my shipping address and that if I wanted it overnighted it will cost $12.95.  The sim's are free.  It will ship today and I should get them tomorrow.

Ok I might have missed this in the talks over the weekend, but will the N5 come out the box tri-band ready unlike some of the other phones that will have to wait on a update?

Please someone more knowledgable correct me, but I believe all of the phones that can access all three bands will be able to as those bands come online.  But I believe the conversation everyone has been having is about "Spark" which if I understand it correctly combines upload and download (not sure about both) across all three bands to increase your speeds.

 

If so the N5 will have to wait for the update.  As I've mentioned before about Nexus updates this will be interesting since Spark is specifically for Sprint and the N5 like "allI***" is supposed to only receives updates from Google not the carrier.  I put asterisk on all because the Galaxy Nexus was treated much differently for Sprint and Verizon than the GSM model for everyone else.  All we can do is wait and see.

 

On a side note.  Once I discovered that the N5 was unlocked I jumped all over that.  Hopefully Sprint will allow Ting to activate it.  If not I'll go to GoPhone or someone else and wait until Ting can activate the phone.  It awesome that we finally have an unlocked phone with all of these radios.

I don't think you get it, the carriers have no say in the updates the way this one is set up. Think of it like the iPhone were apple controls the updates.

I do understand but apparently you don't understand what I'm getting at.  And this isn't like Apple.  While Google's Nexus program isn't quite open having quite a bit of proprietary code they do release the basic source to the AOSP repository.  Apple does not.

 

Take the "Nexus" mess that was the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint and Verizon.  Updates, when and if released, were not released at the same time as the other GSM based Nexus phones.  Whether or not the problem was with the carriers themselves or the fact that the Sprint and Verizon phones had LTE radios, which unlike GSM (as I understand it) is a patent encumbered technology.  I'm actually not sure who holds the patents on LTE and/or if each of the US carriers have their own patents.  It's hard to do an open platform like the Nexus program when you have patents flying around.

 

I'm excited about this phone I just tempering my expectations

I'm stuck waiting for mine until December likely. 3-4 weeks.

Mine supposedly will ship the end of this month. 2-3 week wait.  Here's to hoping the times drop for all of us.

It's plain and simple.  The N5 that Sprint users and AT&T users, etc will be using will be the same exact device.  The updates won't go through AT&T or Sprint to sign off on them before the OTA is put on Google's servers.  The companies signed off on the first update and I'm sure there are other provisions in the contract with the company's like hot spot locking down, etc.  I'm not sure why you are getting stuff about patents and such holding up updates for each carrier.  That's not the way it is going to work.  When Google updates to 4.4.1 then the same scaled rollout will happen to all device users.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
